Creating Moist Air Fryer Cod Fish is simple when you follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and allow it to preheat for about 5 minutes.
2. Prepare the Cod: Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
3. Season the Fish: In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture evenly over each fillet.
4. Arrange in the Air Fryer: Place the seasoned cod fillets in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap.
5. Cook: Air fry the cod for 10-12 minutes, or until it is flaky and cooked through. Check for doneness by inserting a fork into the thickest part of a fillet; it should easily flake apart.
6. Garnish: Once cooked, carefully remove the cod from the air fryer and sprinkle with chopped parsley for a fresh flavor.
7. Serve: Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the fillets for a burst of acidity to enhance the taste.

By following these straightforward steps, you’ll create a delicious meal that’s both healthy and satisfying!
